| Title: | Coral surveys from the nearshore reefs in Guam during 2014 (Reef Resilience in Guam project) (NCEI Accession 0278405) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected at shoreside Guam during deployment Guam_Reef_Surveys_2014 in the North Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea from 2014-01-15 to 2014-08-15. These data include species. These data were collected by Dr Kiho Kim of American University, Dr Laurie J Raymundo of University of Guam Marine Laboratory, and Dr David M Baker of University of Hong Kong as part of the "Documenting bleaching susceptibility and resilience in Guam, Micronesia (Reef Resilience in Guam)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-02-05. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Coral health survey, Guam 2014 Dataset Description: Coral health survey carried out along 10 m x 5 contiguous segments, Guam 2014. |

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: At each of 15 sites, a 50m transect was laid out along the depth contour. Ten-meter segments were processed, equating to five 10m transects per site. The beginning and end points of transects were marked underwater and the transects were revisited three times within one year. Colony monitoring was conducted along the same transects as the Coral Health and Line Intercept Substrate Surveys (see related datasets). A total of 20 colonies were tagged, photographed, measured, and visible health impacts, and % colony affected were determined (as described in Coral Health Surveys, see below). Tagged colonies belonged to four common species identified as bleaching susceptible: Acropora surculosa, A. abrotenoides, Pocillopora eydouxi (now known as P. grandis) and P. damicornis. Colonies were assessed three times over one year. |
